Raymond Charles McFarland

Ray is an exceptional lawyer. I was in a situation where I was entirely surprised to have had an assault charge levied against me. After consulting with multiple lawyers, Ray's confidence, articulation, and demeanor made me sure he was the right lawyer for me. His experience as a former prosecuto...r was evident and invaluable throughout the legal process. He made sure I understood every step of the way what my options were as well as the risks. He meticulously explored various ways we could resolve my case as a dismissal of charges, and fought hard to do so. I had concerns related to employment as well, and Ray made sure I got help from legal experts that would be able to aid me. He ensured he understood my goals and worked hard to help me achieve them. In the end, we resolved my case as a gross misdemeanor with no time served in a jail and 12 months probation. Not only that, but after we resolved my case and he had no obligation to help me anymore, he continued to be available to answer any clarifying questions I had. He repeatedly reached out to see how I was doing and he helped me work through how to talk to my family and friends about what happened. A+ lawyer; you would be lucky to work with him.

I was fortunate to have Ray recommended to me in defense of an assault charge against me in which I was protecting private property from serial vandalism. I thought I was doing the right thing in defending against an individual who was damaging private property, but it turned out that I was the one w...ho ended up getting arrested and going to jail. I had never been in any legal trouble before and, finding myself in jail, had no idea how to make my case. Ray quickly took action and began to outline the situation for me. Not only did he assess that I had a valid legal position to defend, but he ascertained from the information that he was putting together that we would be going up against a weak case from the prosecution and should certainly dig in and put up a vigorous defense. Ray was professional and thorough in outlining not only the landscape of the case, but also the tiered positions the prosecution would likely take along the way, and what the possible outcomes of those could be. Ray was also very reassuring and calm in his demeanor along the arc of my case. This felt supportive for someone like myself who was quite nervous having not been in any legal trouble before. Ray's skill, thoroughness and insight -- both in the courtroom and in consultation -- led me to value and trust his advice. I made the decision to continue to trial rather than go for a plea deal, at which point the prosecution folded, as Ray predicted, with a weak case against me. I would recommend Ray without hesitation. I feel very fortunate to have had him recommended to me.

I searched for the best possible lawyer in Seattle, Washington last year and ended up on MrFarland. Throughout the entire process, Ray turned out to be one of the most professional individuals I've ever been in contact with. Although I was nervous due to the charges of criminal tresspass, Ray was ab...le to calm me down and I learned to completely trust him. Not only did he resolve my case entirely, but he also learned me about the entire process, explained what he was doing - and why, and the potential consequences. The positive outcome here is definitively that I got to know Ray, and also learned a lot from the entire experience while he was resolving my case. I can highly recommend Ray to anyone who needs a lawyer that will handle their issues with respect, is solution focused and really knows "the game".

One min life is great, then suddenly it changed! False accusations were said, and had myself and my families future in jeopardy! That's when Ray stepped into our lives. During our first meeting he had called in to have a lie detector test done that day for me! I passed w/ flying colors and the de...fense was on!! It was a messy back and forth w/ CPS and police but in the end the truth came out and I was cleared of everything:). It was Ray who spent countless hours researching and talking w/ many connections that he's made over the years from working the other fields of Law that helped in my family reuniting:). If anything in our future were to come up, Ray would be the man I would call!! He has not only my trust, but my families also.

Ray McFarland, Ray came highly recommended by a friend. After interviewing him along with several others, his "straight to the point" yet calm demeanor made my decision easy. Throughout my case, he consistently advised and suggested while constantly reminding me that any decision was mine to mak...e. He was a true legal adviser and 'not' simply a cheerleader type lawyer which I appreciated. Lastly, there was a third party unrelated to Ray that said to me "man, you're sure getting your money's worth with Ray, he won't leave me alone". I never doubted his work but that comment reaffirmed my decision in picking Ray. Its obvious Ray knows his way around the courtroom and the legal system. The way he communicated to the judge displayed his years of experience and true professionalism. My case was dismissed. After thinking about it for some time, I honestly feel that my case would have had a different outcome with a different lawyer. Thank you, Ray! Sincerely, ryan
